Early voting officially kicked off last week for the 2021 Brentwood city election, and after the first four days, voter turnout is roughly on par with the first three days of early voting in the 2019 and 2017 elections.

Between Apr. 14 - 17, a total of 861 Brentwood voters cast their ballots in the city election. The first four days of early voting in the 2019 election saw 822 voters cast their ballots, whereas 2017 saw 664.

Given the continually growing population of Brentwood, however, a more accurate comparison would be the comparison of those figures as related to the amount of registered voters.

In the 2019 election, roughly 2.6% of registered voters participated in the first four days of early voting. In 2017, it was 2.1%. In the first four days of early voting this current election cycle, 2.4% of registered participated.
